Brand Overview: https://www.getyourguide.com/

GetYourGuide is a prominent online travel agency and booking marketplace designed to help travelers find and book tours, excursions, and activities around the world. The company was founded in 2009 and is officially operated by GetYourGuide GmbH under the leadership of co-founders Johannes Reck, Tao Tao, Martin Sieber, and Tobias Rein.

Contact Info

  • Phone (US and Canada): +1 855-957-1272
  • Phone (International): +49 30 56839445
  • Email: There is no general customer service email address publicly available for direct outreach; instead, the brand requires customers to submit support tickets through the contact form or live chat on their official website and mobile app.

Industry and Operations

GetYourGuide operates within the global travel and tourism industry as a third-party aggregator and booking platform. Rather than operating the tours itself, the brand acts as a digital middleman connecting travelers with local businesses and independent tour guides.

  • Experiences and Excursions: The platform lists thousands of localized activities, including guided city walks, food tasting tours, and adventure sports.
  • Attraction Ticketing: Provides digital passes and skip-the-line tickets for major museums, historical monuments, and theme parks.
  • Commission-Based Model: The company generates revenue by charging a commission fee to the local service providers for every booking processed through the GetYourGuide platform.

User Sentiment

Overall user sentiment regarding GetYourGuide is mixed, with significant friction often arising when travel plans do not go as expected. While the platform offers convenience, many customer complaints highlight issues stemming from its reliance on third-party operators and inadequate support resolution.

  • Last-Minute Cancellations: Users frequently report having their scheduled tours or activities canceled by the local operator with very little notice.
  • Guide No-Shows: A common complaint involves tourists arriving at the designated meeting point only to find that the local guide or transport never arrived.
  • Strict Refund Policies and Delays: Customers often experience immense difficulty and long wait times when attempting to get their money back after a failed, inaccurate, or canceled experience.
  • Misleading Tour Descriptions: Many travelers express frustration that the actual tour, group size, or language of the guide did not match what was advertised on the GetYourGuide listing.
  • Ineffective Dispute Resolution: Because GetYourGuide acts solely as a broker, customers frequently complain that the platform's support team is unhelpful in resolving serious disputes between the traveler and the local provider.
